Hi everyone.. nice to be here, i drive an accord cl7 (manual tranny) but wish to upgrade to a bmw.. there is this e46 325ti (pic is attached) bm direct toks deal i saw for 1.3m, i test drove it and the problems i found was it didn't accelerate well and when i put it on D and remove my leg frm the brake, the car will be jerky until i press d gas pedal wch actually don't respond well untill i have accelerated far enough.. when in neutral, the engine will be jerky. Aside these issues, the car is very clean.

1) what could be the issue?
2) can it easily be solved?
3) how much is the 2.5l m54 engine?
4) can i swap the 2.5l to a 3.0l in the future if i choose to?
you should start with a thorough full system scan. kindly get a tech with a capable scan tool. scan all modules available on the vehicle. and carefully analyse based on error codes stored. ensure you save or atleast snap all the codes read.
Assuming there is no engine damage, na to just find better mechanic wey fit diagnose the issue.

I suggest you perform scan of the DME and TCM because there are many components/sensors that could create such scenarios when bad. It could be something as simple as MAF or as complex as gearbox issues.

Please where can I get 2010 BMW X5 waterpump (the one with aluminium housing as pictured below) in Nigeria?

Re: BMW Owners' Forum by topradar4(f): 6:25pm On Jul 17, 2022
Hi Bimmers, I'm considering buying the 2016 BMW X3 series. Do you think it's a good car for Nigeria road. And could last me 5-10years usage without any issue.

PS: I already have a corolla, so won't be an every day car

5-10yrs without any issues? You must be joking. Even your "reliable" corolla won't be that reliable.

I'd advice you'd import it yourself from fcpeuro. They'd give you a warranty that you can call on if the need arises.

I greet you specially, please I need reviews for this 2 cars , Naija reviews o.

2008 bmw X5 3.0 and 2008 Audi Q7 3.6.

I love both cars but I want to pick the one that is more reliable here in Nigeria.

Things I am considering are;

Reliability.

Second hand value and fuel economy no matter.

Please help a brother make an informed decision.

Hello, Bimmer owners in the house, I just recently acquired a BMW 3 series e46 318i (2001 production year) and it has ECU/ECM (brain box) issues. The problem is getting the right match for my car since the original ECU that came wit the car has been replaced with a mismatch. Please I need assistance on the correct part number for my car. Look forward to any help.
